Magazine is the firearms term for the part of a firearm that stores ammunition waiting to be fired. A single shot firearm- rifle, pistol, or shotgun will not have a magazine. All repeating firearms DO have a magazine- with the exception of belt fed firearms, like a machine gun..

Why do rifle manufacturers sell their rifles with 4 round magazines when matches require 5 round magazines?
Rifle manufacturers may choose to ship rifles with 4-round magazines to comply with certain states' capacity restrictions. Customers can purchase additional 5-round magazines separately to adhere to match requirements. This allows the manufacturer to sell their rifles in a wider range of regions while still meeting competition needs.

How do you load a repeating rifle?
There are several types of repeating rifles, fed by different systems. Some rifle have detachable magazines, while others may have fixed magazines. Of fixed magazine rifles, you may have either a box magazine. or a tubular magazine. In any of these instances, you would load the magazine. If the rifle was fed by a detachable magazine, you would then insert the magazine into the magazine well and ensure that it was seated. Rifles with fixed box magazines, such as bolt action rifles or the SKS, will require you to open and lock the action to the rear, then feed the rounds into the magazine through the open action. Rifles with tubular magazines may have different ways of loading the magazine. Some will have a slot on the side of the receiver which cartridges are fed into to load the magazine. Some will require the end of the tubular magazine to be removed, and for the cartridges to be fed in from the front of the magazine (below the bore), after which, the cap (which often contains the magazine spring) is replaced. Some tubular magazines are fed through an opening in the bottom of the receiver (this is most common with shotguns). Some tubular magazines are inserted through the buttstock, such as on certain versions of the Remington Nylon 66. On these rifles, you would remove the tubular magazine completely from the rifle, load the cartridges into the magazine, then insert it back into the opening in the buttstock and secure the magazine.

MGs and machine guns are the same thing, and most of them are belt fed.

The AK47 and AKM can accept the 75 and 90 round drum magazines intended for the RPK74, but they're not standard issue. For a military using modern assault rifles, the standard issue magazines are typically 30 rounds. For militaries using the older battle rifles (e.g., the FN FAL, H&K G3, etc.), 20 round magazines are the norm.Countries which use the 5.56 Galil AR rifle typically issue 35 round magazines.
